I wish I could remember that first day

I wish I could remember that first day,
First hour, first moment of your meeting me,
If bright or dim the season, it might be
Summer or Winter for aught I can say;
So unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was I to see and to foresee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom yet for many a May.
If only I could recollect it, such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
If only now I could recall that touch,
First touch of hand in hand – Did one but know!

I’d Love You To Want Me

When I saw you standin’ there
I ’bout fell out my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet

Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Somethin’ in my soul just cries
I see the want in your blue eyes

Baby
I’d love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be, mmm
Baby
You’d love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you’d only let it be

You told yourself years ago
You’d never let your feeling show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave

 

Your Heart Is Where Your Treasure Is

our Heart Is Where Your Treasure Is!

I thought that I could make it on my own.
Till that day when I lost my job and home.

There were things in life I took for granted.
Till that one day, when all was “unplanted.”

There were many things that I had enjoyed.
Till that one day, when it was all destroyed.

I cried and wept as I see it all disappear.
But something that I discovered became clear.

No matter how many times I sought pleasure.
Where my heart is, there is also my treasure.

The treasures I thought would bring fulfillment.
Never did they bring true joy and contentment!

I began to pray like I had never done before…
God was what I needed… I needed HIM more!

The love of God spoke to me, as I knelt down…
And soon, I felt HIS presence all around!

I lost everything in life, that I thought I needed!
But, through Jesus, my life is now completed!

Jesus brought a heavenly treasure that I never knew
He filled my emptiness, and made me “brand new!”

He came to where I was! I was empty within…
And gave me the victory to live life AGAIN!

The treasure in Christ brought healing to my mind!
I love him so much! He’s so gentle and kind!

The treasure in Christ, is a wonderful delight.
This eternal treasure… Can be yours TONIGHT!

 

Love’s Silence

To count the ways, I dare to comprehend
such finite love defined in written line,
for quantity shall never find an end
to love that lets infinity define.

A Summer’s day, to love shall not compare,
though shines to bathe your beauty in its light,
and as it wanes, waits breathlessly to share
the passion of a sultry Summer’s night.

To laureates and bards of metaphor,
each scribbled phrase, I bid them credit due,
but all their words and phrases heretofore
can ne’er describe this love I have for you.
When words fall short and poetry departs,
love’s silence fills the cockles of our hearts.

 

Goddess of the Night

 

What beauty reflected in love’s fair eyes,
a passion treasured beyond all measure.
As ardor stirred flames, I failed to disguise
the need in my loins ere want of pleasure.

As sweet the music I discern profound,
tis more honeyed your lips when touching mine.
Oh! My pained heart shall beckon love resound,
my moonstruck maiden, unearthly divine.

Mute, I cannot be, so near your soft breasts.
This besotted man has but scant more breath.
Grant me your pure love, not in mere request,
but with an angelic kiss ‘fore my death.

I beg thee allow the stars remain bright.
Give yourself to me ere the end of night.

Nothing Compares 2 U

 

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl you better have fun
No matter what you do
But he’s a fool
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try

Don’t Break My Heart

 

You are my reason to live
Yes, you are
I need your touch

Don’t break my heart

I close my eyes
I know that you are by my side
I feel your touch
It’s like a dream of paradise
I can’t explain
It’s like an ocean of happiness
There’s magic now in the air
Oh baby let’s play this game

Don’t break my heart
And be my love tonight
Don’t lose your way
I will light you in the night

Babe I would stop the world
And break the rules to be with you
Don’t break my heart
Baby don’t break my heart

You wanna fly
And leave me like a broken toy
I need your breath to save my heart
To save my way
Don’t hurt me babe
I hope that you will understand
That you are my reason to live
The one and only for me

Don’t break my heart
And be my love tonight
Don’t lose your way
I will light you in the night

Babe I would stop the world
And break the rules to be with you
Don’t break my heart
Baby don’t break my heart

I love you
Don’t break my heart
I need your breath
You are the one
The only one

I want my kisses back from you

 

I want my kisses back from youI’m takin’ all my kisses back from youAnd every breath you held on toI’m takin’ all my kisses back from youGive me the hello’s and goodbyesAnd pack up every morning and goodnightI want the sunrises and moonsI’m takin’ all my kisses backI want my kisses back from you

 

I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back from you
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I’m takin’ all my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you

Eternal Love

It’s a beautiful feeling
What we got deep inside
We got a flame that will last forever
Together you and I

Such a rush of emotions
There’s no way we can push it away
Cuz they’ll never tear our love apart
Our bond will never break

Do you believe in the power
Of everlasting love
We can make it if we stay together
Our love is just enough

Promise me this forever
We’ll always stay this way
We can start at the end of time
And do it all again

Oh my love
I’m all yours
And there will never be another one
‘cause I’m eternally yours
My heart’s a flame
And it’s burning in your name
Even through the sands of time
My love will always grow
And I won’t let go

No matter if you’re near or far
Our bond will never break

Promise me this forever
We’ll always stay this way
We can start at the end of time
And do it all again

The Meaning of Love

The Meaning of Love
“Both light and shadow
are the dance of Love.

Love has no cause;
it is the astrolabe of God’s secrets.
Lover and Loving are inseparable
and timeless.
Although I may try to describe Love
when I experience it I am speechless.

Although I may try to write about Love
I am rendered helpless;
my pen breaks and the paper slips away
at the ineffable place
where Lover, Loving and Loved are one.
Every moment is made glorious
by the light of Love. ״
